RSPCA Horse Trough North Norfolk u3a Local History Group
Horse troughs and drinking fountains were once a common sight in our cities and towns and many of us will have fond childhood memories of seeing delivery horses in the streets and I particularly remember our local rag and bone man ringing a hand bell as his ‘Hercules’ pulled the cart. We are lucky that we still have in Sheringham a horse trough as an eloquent reminder of these days when our society was reliant on horse-based transport.
There was, in the middle of the nineteenth century, great concern at the suffering of animals caused by the lack of drinking water, particularly for horses which were not uncommonly worked to death, and for cattle which made journeys to metropolitan markets lasting for several days without water. It was written that the sufferings which were endured by parched and wearied animals in the streets were beyond all imagination. Continued on page 4...

Norfolk Police support national ‘2 Wheels’ campaign
RSPCA Horse Trough North Norfolk u3a Local History Group
Continued from front cover... The plight of these animals was taken up by the Metropolitan Drinking Fountain and Cattle Trough Association which was founded in 1859 by Samuel Gurney MP (of the famous Norfolk family) and Edward Wakefield, a barrister, who were both keen philanthropists. It was to be, in their own words ‘The only agency for providing free supplies of water for man and beast in the streets of London’.
Police in Norfolk have been raising awareness regarding the safety of road users on two wheels - including motorcyclists and cyclists – as part of a national initiative.
Between Monday 12 April and Sunday 18 April, officers supported The National Police Chiefs’ Council (NPCC) ‘2 Wheels’ campaign. This coincided with another roads policing operation called ‘Close Pass’, both of which focus on the dangers faced by cyclists as a result of motorists who drive too closely to them.
The Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, the world’s first animal charity, worked closely with the MDFCTA and it was the Norfolk and Norwich Branch of the RSPCA that presented a trough to Sheringham in 1908 to provide water for horses and cattle and perhaps for the donkeys that provided rides to holidaymakers. This is a rare surviving example of troughs of this sort, and it still bears the RSPCA inscription. The trough is situated on the Esplanade and is now used as a planter. A similar but slightly more complete RSPCA trough in Great Yarmouth is Grade II listed by Historic England.
The aim of both campaigns is to educate and raise awareness among motorists - as well as riders - about how to improve driver/rider behaviour to enhance road safety.
Motorcyclists make up just 1% of the motoring population yet are 16 times more likely to be injured in a serious or fatal collision as opposed to car drivers. They therefore remain one of the most vulnerable road users, alongside cyclists.
I wonder how many troughs were once sited in Sheringham and are now lost. An old photo of the High Street shows that there was once a trough and water tap by the clock tower and there is a story about a trough from World War I. As we all know the first bombs of the war that fell on British soil landed in Sheringham on what is now Whitehall Yard. According to a tale on the internet one of the incendiary bombs was picked up and quickly doused in a nearby horse trough. I would really like this to be true.
As part of this year’s campaign officers placed an additional focus on the safety of road users on two wheels by conducting checks in both marked and unmarked vehicles in areas frequently used by motorcyclists and pedal cyclists. Officers engaged with riders in order to educate them on the dangers of not having the correct skills, knowledge and personal protection equipment.
Temporary Chief Inspector Jon Chapman, Head of the Joint Norfolk and Suffolk Roads and Armed Policing Team, said: "We know that as lockdown restrictions ease, road users, particularly cyclists, are more likely to get back out on our roads. It has therefore never been a more important time to highlight the dangers that both motorcyclists and cyclists face.
Drinking fountains are also a rare sight nowadays with young people carrying their own water in plastic bottles and the use of use of public fountains in the park with their dented cups on a long chain are a distant memory.
Bob Wilkinson For information about u3a see our website: northnorfolku3a.org.uk
Norfolk’s Assistant Chief Fire Officer Scott Norman said: "The number of bikers on the road always increases at this time of year as the weather improves, and with lockdown easing there is also more traffic back on the road. "Sadly, our crews attend many accidents on Norfolk’s roads each year involving motorcyclists. Most are avoidable. Our short social media videos aim to show how to get your bike roadworthy before setting out and all road users have a responsibility to remain alert and help to keep motorcyclists safe.”
Drivers or riders seen to commit offences will be issued with Traffic Offence Reports (TORs) and face a fine, points on their licence or even court action.
Jaymic Systems Ltd
"As we have seen riders being disproportionally involved in serious collisions when they only make up a small fraction of the total road users, we want to use this campaign to encourage motorists and cyclists to think about the safety of those on two wheels. Riders must of course consider their own safety and be responsible road users as much as anyone else, but I would urge drivers of other vehicles to take extra care when travelling near to cyclists or motorcyclists and recognise that they are more vulnerable. Don’t drive too closely to them and allow plenty of room if overtaking.”

A Note from the editor
Two New Exhibitions at Sheringham Museum at The Mo
Where did Spring go, did it happen when I wasn’t looking? As I am writing (bank holiday Monday) the wind is blowing and the rain is beating on the window. Just when we are looking forward to getting out and about as things are opening up, the weather has other ideas. There were still one or two stoic souls eating fish and chips on the beach today determined to enjoy their al fresco dining experience! It is good to see businesses open again and everyone keeping to social distancing. It bodes well for the next phase of the lockdown easing.
May 19th – October 30th After our enforced lockdown, we are looking forward to re-opening on Wednesday, 19th May, with entry conditions in place to comply with Government regulations.
The museum will be opening for four days each week - Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday for two sessions for visitors each day: 11am - 1pm and 2pm - 4pm, with our museum shop open the whole day.
For the Bank Holiday at the end of May we will be opening on Monday 31st May and Tuesday 1st June as well as August Bank Holiday weekend.
Like many gardeners, I am champing at the bit to get my patch ready for the Summer, the greenhouse is full to bursting just waiting for the risk of frost to pass. Perhaps now is the time to dust off that barbeque and prepare to welcome friends and family back for the gatherings we have all missed so much. Let’s hope for more clement weather in the weeks to come and a return to more normal times.
Please check our website www.sheringhammuseum.co.uk for up-todate times and on-line booking (subject to change in accordance with latest governmental advice).
Sheringham, on the glorious North Norfolk coast, has a history that stretches back over a thousand years. The Museum tells the story of the town and its proud, brave, independent people over the last two centuries, told through beautiful displays packed with interesting things to see, hear, and do.
Whatever you plans, enjoy your May magazine.
Keep safe and well.
This year marks the 30th anniversary of Sheringham Museum’s opening and 10 years of being situated on the ‘Mo’ site. To celebrate, we have installed some new displays and enhanced others. Together, they tell the story of Sheringham’s past, its geology and palaeontology, its social history, its lifeboat /fishing heritage and more, through photographs, videos, artwork and, of course, interesting artefacts.

Air ambulance CEO and founder retires
East Anglian Air Ambulance (EAAA) has announced that its CEO, Patrick Peal, will be retiring from the charity in June after seven years in the role. EAAA’s Director of Operations Matthew Jones has been appointed as Patrick’s successor and will take the reins at the end of June.
a year and raising £8 million annually. I’m proud to say both of these areas have significantly increased, by about 60%, with 2,700 missions attended in 2019 and over £14 million raised in the same year. That’s a huge testament to the community that keeps this charity flying and I’m really excited to see how EAAA continues to progress in order to help the East Anglian community even more.”
Patrick played an integral part in setting up the life-saving charity just over 20 years ago, led the charity as a former Trustee for some eleven years and has been the charity’s CEO since 2014.
During Patrick Peal’s tenure, the service has expanded to cover 24 hours a day every day of the year. To date, this has involved flying by day and by night, with the middle of the night covered by rapid response vehicles. His final act at EAAA in the summer will be extending the flying service 24/7.
The charity being a cause very close to his heart, Patrick said: “Being CEO of East Anglian Air Ambulance is the best job I’ve ever had, but all good things must come to an end eventually. The charity is approaching an exciting new era of 24/7 helicopter operations and now is the right time for me personally to
Patrick Peal retiring CEO of EAAA
step back and let someone else lead EAAA into what I’m sure will be a very exciting future.
Patrick continued: “I’m extremely lucky that I’ve been involved with the charity from the very beginning and the transformation I’ve seen in what this charity can do for our patients really is outstanding. EAAA simply wouldn’t exist without the fantastic support of the local community and that is something that I’ve always been keen to remember and advocate to the rest of the team.
“When I took on the role of CEO seven years ago EAAA was attending about 1,700 missions
The Chairman, Sir William Cubitt, says: “It is with great sadness that we say goodbye to Patrick Peal this year. He has lived and breathed EAAA for much of the last 20 years and is rightly credited with its great success over that time. The charity has benefited hugely from his ambitious vision, dynamism and charisma which has brought such a professional lifesaving operation to East Anglia. He has set the charity up well for the future and we very much look forward to the next stage of its story under the capable leadership of Matthew Jones who is already well known to the charity, and the charity to him.”

Air ambulance Trek 24 challenge coming back to Norfolk
This summer East Anglian Air Ambulance (EAAA) will be hosting its first large-scale fundraising challenge since August 2019 in the form of Trek 24; an organised 24 kilometre or 24 mile walk along the Norfolk coast.
Two Trek 24 events were planned to take place in 2020 but both were unable to go ahead due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Optimistically looking ahead to this summer, EAAA is excited to now be organising three Trek 24 events across the region and bringing Trek 24 back to north Norfolk, finishing at Holkham Hall.
year’s Trek 24 events will each be as successful.
Exact routes will be released in due course, the Trek 24 timetable is as follows:
● Trek 24 Suffolk: Saturday 14 August, finishing at Sotterley Estate.
● Trek 24 Bedfordshire: Saturday 4 September, starting and finishing at Hexton Manor.
● Trek 24 Norfolk: Sunday 12 September, finishing at Holkham Hall.
The life-saving charity has two helicopter emergency teams covering East Anglia and aims to raise £15 million a year to deliver and develop its service. Trek 24 is a guided 24 km, or 24 mile walk to help raise vital funds to help the charity start flying 24/7, which it hopes to do later this summer.
The very first Trek 24 event took place in 2019 in Norfolk and saw hundreds of walkers setting off from either West Runton or Cley, all finishing at Holkham Hall, and raised over £100,000 for the helicopter emergency medical service charity. The charity is hopeful this

are different ticket prices available depending on the sponsorship pledge. Sign up online at www.trek-24.co.uk.
A spokesperson from Holkham Hall said: “Given our rural, and often inaccessible, location we have seen at first hand the incredible, life-saving service that the East Anglian Air Ambulance provides, and we are very keen to show our support by hosting the Trek 24 Norfolk event at Holkham this September. There is no denying that for the participants Trek 24 will be a significant challenge, but we are sure that the beautiful landscapes and sea views along the north Norfolk coast will help them along the route back to the finish line in Holkham Park! We wish all participants the very best of luck and thank them in advance for raising much-needed funds for EAAA.”

“It’s a recurrent misconception that a larger firm is better.”
I am Clare Mayell and I own Silver and Ward Solicitors in Sheringham. I am an extremely competent and experienced solicitor. I appreciate that any time of the year can be a difffficult time for many people to resolve legal issues of worry and concern, for example, making a will or Lasting Power of Attorney, and especially during this very uncertain time. As I have worked for 2 larger local firms I know what clients want and expect. My charges are significantly less than other solicitors in North Norrffolk or Norrw wich and I provide 24 years of expertise and exceptional service. I pride myself in being one of the only solicitors who offers a FREE FIRST APPOINTMENT, so clients can come in and obtain some initial advice and discuss costs and then make an informed decision. At a larger firm you just pay more. I can also offer appointments via Zoom, telephone or Skype and through the website www.silverandward.co.uk.. When a client rings or walks through the door they invariably get to speak to me as this personal and direct approach is important to my clients and I. I ensure complete confidentiality is an absolute priority. I advise new clients to “shop around” as I know that my charges are significantly less than other solicitors but I can offe fer the same expertise, if not better. I have and can act for clients across Norrffolk and the Country as we now have the use of Skype, emails etc. so it enables me to act for clients further afield. The reason that clients, near and far, instruct Silver and Ward is because of my expertise, exceptional service and competitive costs. Of course we have all necessary Covid measures in place in the office.
“I would say to any potential client with a legal issue or worry to come and meet me face to face for a FREE FIRST APPOINTMENT, as you have nothing to lose but all to gain. Home visits can be arranged at no extra cost.

A warm welcome to our new Day Centre manager
Looking towards June and Step 4 on the Government’s Road Map to recovery… you will see some changes at Age Concern some general maintenance and improvements are currently being undertaken but more importantly we have engaged a new Centre Manager – Anneliese Maerz who joined us in February with excellent qualifications and the experience necessary to support our future needs.
Hadleigh Special Breeds Farm and a dementia home in Southend; a prison group of older men with dementia; and a community group with the Sheringham Salvation Army.
This is one activity she would hope to develop with us at Age Concern (North Norfolk) once the centre re-opens.
Anneliese Maerz joins us after a career of over 40 years in social work and social care in the statutory, independent and voluntary sectors in Northern Ireland, Lincolnshire and Norfolk.
The Trustees welcome Anneliese Maerz, new Day Centre manager Anneliese to the team at Age Concern (North Norfolk) along with taking this opportunity to thank and offer our best wishes to Juliet English who retired as a valued and hard-working Trustee at the end of March.
Most recently she worked as the Older People’s Specialist for the Salvation Army covering the East of England. Living in Sheringham for the past 15 years, she is delighted to be able to walk to work and start to meet the older people of this area of Norfolk.
She has a passion for older people and is a great believer in them being ‘fruitful in later life’, never being too old to learn something new. She herself learned to play a brass instrument when she was 50 and regrets not having learned when she was younger.
We wish them both well.
Enter Stage Left?
Stage Direct amateur theatre group are appealing for new and past members for post lockdown shows.
Anneliese’s career has encompassed hands-on practice, supervision, management, education and training of staff from multidisciplinary settings; community and residential work with learning disability, sensory impairment, dementia and physical disability and older people.
This prestigious North Norfolk based drama group have come out of the lockdown blues with exiting new projects. They have kept interest going with zoom reads etc. and now are looking for people who would be interested in helping them realize their goals of being able to perform in front of a live theatre again. They have a staunch membership but need some more people on board to be able to move forward.
She is not a person who is flappable in a crisis having led the Emergency Crisis Support Team in Northern Ireland responding to both civil and terrorist-related incidents.
Her interest in dementia has opened new areas of work in Cognitive Stimulation Therapy successfully running a Care Farming project with

MANDY GLASS - PERSONAL TRAVEL AGENT
So in March 2020 I think we were all stunned by the arrival of Covid 19 and think we were all under the assumption that this would just disappear within a few months - but how wrong were we all.
A year on and, with the aid of the Vaccine roll out, we can all see light at the end of the tunnel and hopefully be reunited with our loved ones and have that long awaited holiday.
I am in the office waiting for your lovely holiday enquiries and have been very busy taking holiday bookings for 2022 and 2023. Once we know the government guidance on the Traffic Light system Green, Amber or Red then we will hopefully feel more confident to book that much needed break.
Most tour operators are offering very flexible booking terms so please do not hesitate to contact me and I will gladly run through the details with you.
From UK breakaways - Tailor made itineraries - safaris and world cruises please give me a call or email me the details and I will get back to you as soon as possible.

Each Needs Volunteers Bodham & Beckham We need YOU to help us keep our Horticultural Show
shops open and raise vital funds!
The show is scheduled for Saturday 24th July 2021 and, so far, it looks as though we will be able to go ahead without limitations. The Schedules will be printed after 17th May subject to Step 3 of the Government Guidelines being approved. They will be delivered to every household in Bodham & Beckham as soon as possible after printing.
With many of our shop volunteers currently unable to lend a hand due to the pandemic, the number of hours’ support we normally receive is down more than 50%.
If anyone outside the villages would like a copy, please contact us by email: aprince@btconnect.com or phone: 01263 588235 or 07778 586603. The show is open to all; not just residents of Bodham and Beckham. We would like to make it clear that all entries that you wish to retain can be uplifted at the end of the show and do not have to be entered for auction.
We are facing a financial deficit over the next 12 months, following disruption to fundraising and retail, and at the same time our care and support is more important than ever as vulnerable families become exhausted from shielding.
It is very important we manage our retail activity back to sustainable levels of income, but we will not be able to do this without more volunteer support.
We would like to thank all our sponsors who, despite all the difficulties businesses have faced during the lockdowns, have once again given us funding. They are:
Might you be able to help? Just a couple of hours a week can make a difference.
Allards Butchers of Holt, Crayford & Abbs, East and West Beckham Solar Community Fund, Homeopathic Supply Company, Kelling Heath Holiday Park, North Norfolk Garden Machinery & Holt Mobility Centre Ltd, R C Wright Ltd, Woodlands Leisure Upper Sheringham.
There are so many ways you can support us, from sorting donations and dressing windows to running the till and listing items on our eBay shop, and we always guarantee a friendly welcome!
Why not pop in to your local EACH shop – we have 43 right across the region – chat to our team and arrange a taster session? Find out more about becoming a retail volunteer, including a full list of our shop locations and phone numbers, at www.each.org.uk/retail-volunteers.
We hope that this year’s show will be extra special and a real chance for us to get together after all the restrictions of the last year and a half. The profits from this year’s show will go towards the Bodham & Beckham Over 70s Christmas Lunch which has been booked for Saturday 11th December. Alan & Shirley Prince, Show Organisers

Horticultural enthusiasts invited to return to Creake Abbey’s 2021 Plant Lovers’ Day
Creake Abbey’s highly popular Plant Lovers’ Day returns on Saturday 29th May 2021 to this beautiful monastic site three miles south of Burnham Market in north Norfolk. The region’s budding gardeners are invited to enjoy the botanical delights on sale at this much-loved horticultural event, now in its 14th year.
For Creake Abbey’s Plant Lovers’ Day 2021, 30 specialist plant nurseries from across East Anglia and beyond will showcase their finest perennials, exotics, bulbs, shrubs, trees and climbers.
From olive trees, bamboo and grasses to carnivorous plants, roses and wildflowers, the buzz of excitement is palpable as visitors find an unusual specimen or something irresistible for their garden or as a gift for a loved-one.
Nurserymen are always happy to answer questions and to provide advice on a wide range of high-quality plants, sold at reasonable prices.
Once again, proceeds from the day will go to Wells Community Hospital Trust at Wells-next-the-Sea. Over the past 14 years Creake Abbey has raised over £25,000 for the hospital through its annual Plant Lovers’ Day and subsequent donations.
The hospital has been providing health and wellbeing services in Norfolk for more than 100 years. Alongside clinics, the hospital is spearheading services for the community including a digital hub, community café, parents and toddler groups as well as a program of exercise classes. Registered charity no. 1154540
Strict Covid-safety measurements will be in place to ensure visitors and stall holders feel safe. There will be a simple one-way system in place, visitor numbers will be monitored within the event area and, as needed, a queue may form at the entrance.
Ordering from the nurseries in advance is welcomed and contact details for all the nurseries will be available from
www.creakeabbey.co.uk/events/plant-lovers-day
Visitors are encouraged to spread their visit across the whole day and not arrive at the peak time of 11am to 12noon.
Masks are to be worn at all times and visitors should respect social distancing rules across the venue’s outdoor location on the breezy north Norfolk coast.
The café and food hall will be serving takeaway coffee, cake and light meals. If restrictions allow, then there will be some indoor seating.
A paramedic will be in attendance.

Mrs Vicar and the Flying Rings
In recent years, flying rings have emerged as a popular alternative to Frisbees for their increased acceleration and have been sold in many shops up and down the coast.
Due to their lightweight nature and aerodynamic design, these flying rings are frequently lost in higher winds or if thrown with extra force. It is common at the coast for flying rings to be lost into the sea, where they float off or sink, if made from denser materials.
Flying rings pose a serious threat to marine mammals. The materials they are made from do not break down or lose their structural integrity over time and in the water.
Seals are inquisitive by nature and will seek to investigate, or play with them as they
find them in the sea. Many seals have been discovered by local animal groups (such as Friends of Horsey Seals, British Divers Marine Life Rescue and the RSPCA) with flying rings stuck around their necks.
Seals lack the ability to move their flippers forwards and have no way of removing these themselves. Pups grow at a significant rate, adding up to 30kg of mass in a matter of weeks; with such rapid growth, the seal pup can quickly outgrow the ring they are trapped in, leading to horrific injuries as it cuts into their neck.
A local example is a seal dubbed ‘Mrs Vicar’. Mrs Vicar is an adult seal that the Friends of Horsey Seals had been trying to catch for two and a half years. She had a white flying ring trapped around her neck, mirroring the imagery of the clerical collars worn by vicars.
PLUMBING & HEATING LTD FULLY QUALIFIED — 35 YEARS EXPERIENCE
The flying ring removed from her neck. Photo: RSPCA
She was finally rescued by Friends of Horsey Seals during the Easter Weekend and promptly brought to the RSPCA East Winch Wildlife Centre, who have been tending to her wounds and rehabilitation. The wounds she had suffered in those years had resulted in deep, bloody cuts and a raging infection which was potentially life threatening.
Manager Alison Charles, who has cared for Mrs Vicar, said: “They bought her in, and we took her into isolation; the vet then removed what was around her neck, and ensuring [all remnants] were all out. Her wounds were so infected, really deep where the plastic had cut into her neck. You could smell her as you walked into the isolation unit.”
She will remain at the wildlife centre in East Winch over the coming months while she fully rehabilitates. Mrs Vicar is currently kept in an outside pool, where the salt water granulates and sooths the long term infection around her neck, much of which exacerbated by the scar tissue. She is well fed and undergoing exercises which improve the mobility in her neck.
INSTALLATION Boiler installation with 7 - 10 year warranty Boiler breakdown & power flushing Frozen condense pipe rectified Boiler service and landlord certification
The work of the volunteers from Friends of Horsey Seals and the RSPCA has meant that Mrs Vicar, and seals like her, are spared the continued injury of their wounds or succumbing to the associated complications.
PLUMBING Bathroom installation Wetroom installation Mains pressure upgrade General plumbing work & maintenance
Flying rings are not the only risk to marine mammals or ocean wildlife. Netting, carrier bags (including ‘bags-for-life’) and fishing wire are also items that have to be removed from the necks of injured animals.
BOILER INSTALLATION Combi and system boiler’s upgrade Underfloor heating Warm air and powermax upgrade Boiler breakdown repair
If you are heading to the coast, consider bringing alternate items to play with and remember to bring home or dispose of any rubbish as their discarded presence in the sea can cause unexpected and horrific accidental damage.
If you find a seal in distress and in need of emergency assistance you can contact any of the following agencies.

Bill Brandt | Henry Moore Exhibition Reopens 18 May – 22 August 2021
This major exhibition traces the parallel and intersecting careers of two leading artists of the 20th century. The photographer Bill Brandt (1904–1983) and sculptor Henry Moore (1898–1986) first crossed paths during the Second World War, when they created images of civilians sheltering in the London Underground during the Blitz. These photographs by Brandt and drawings by Moore today rank among their most iconic works.
The exhibition is organised by the Yale Center for British Art in partnership with The Hepworth Wakefield and is curated by Martina Droth, Deputy Director and Chief Curator of the Yale Center for British Art. The exhibition brings together almost 200 works including significant sculpture, iconic photographs and drawings, little-known photo collages and rare original colour transparencies. Bill Brandt | Henry Moore reveals the interdisciplinary range of these two artists, exploring how they both responded creatively to the British landscape and communities during the turbulent times in which they lived.
The exhibition opens with the moment the artists met in 1942 when Brandt photographed Moore in his studio to accompany a 10-page spread in Lilliput magazine, which juxtaposed the two artists’ shelter images for the first time. Both artists were often drawn to similar
! "
subjects. During the Second World War, there was a focus on ordinary people, the home and labour. Their images of coal miners and their families reflect social deprivation, yet an optimistic view in the case of Moore.
In contrast with the densely populated, often claustrophobic, urban subjects explored during the war, Brandt and Moore both later turned to nature and the light-filled open landscape as a primary source of inspiration.
A significant section of the exhibition looks at their enduring interest in rock formations, geological artefacts, and megalithic sites, such as Stonehenge.
Ghislaine Wood, Acting Director of the Sainsbury Centre said: “Henry Moore is a
crucial artist in our collection, and we are delighted to be able to show his work in a new light through its presentation alongside Bill Brandt, one of the most important photographers of the 20th century. This exhibition demonstrates how Henry Moore, often known as a sculptor, worked across media, including collage and photography, and how Brandt — through photography — presented the landscape and body as acutely sculptural.”
The exhibition is accompanied by a major new book published by the Yale Center for British Art in association with Yale University Press. The book takes an unusual approach to the reproduction of photographic works, capturing the materiality of the print as a singular, three-dimensional object rather than a flattened image on the page.
Bill Brandt | Henry Moore reopens at the Sainsbury Centre 18 May – 22 August 2021. Dates at the Yale Center for British Art have been postponed until further notice. Tickets £13/£12 concessions.

North Walsham and District Branch of Cats Protection
Our branch of Cats Protection was set up in June 2000 but prior to that Stephanie and I had been volunteers at the Dereham Branch. During our time there we met other like-minded people, including one lady who set up an independent charity to rescue stray cats and kittens plus neutering ferals, in the Fakenham area.
We have continued to have contact with her over the years and on occasion we have advised people who live in her area to contact her for help. I was therefore concerned when she contacted me recently asking whether we had taken in a feral mum and her kittens from her area. When I advised her that we had not, she explained that she had agreed to take these into care but when she went to pick them up, was advised that they had already been collected by North Walsham Cats Protection. I reassured her that we had been unaware of these cats but, if we had been we would probably have referred the caller to her as they were in her area.
We are the only branch of Cats Protection in North Norfolk, although there are other branches plus two adoption centres in Norfolk. The Branches are Anglian Coastal, Breckland and Norwich and the Adoption Centres are at Dereham and Downham Market. There are other charities in the post codes we cover, some of which also rescue other animals, and although we do on occasion work with some of them, none are connected to Cats Protection.
Fortunately, during lockdown, we have been able to continue to take in cats and als re-home them. This is mainly due to our cats being in pens in peoples’ gardens. Prospective owners have happily complied with social distancing and the restrictions and procedures that have been necessary when viewing the cats. This has also applied when they return to collect new members to join their households. Similar care has also been needed for visits to the vets for health checks for new cats in care
plus any needing treatment. The vets have all also been extremely helpful by neutering the cats under our special neutering scheme plus feral cats from the two Midnight previously in our care colonies we have recently been helping. Although the situation has eased, we will still need to be careful as volunteers. Although most of us have now been vaccinated we will still proceed with caution to ensure we can continue to care for the cats.
If you are interested in receiving help to neuter your cat/kitten, please ring 07880 256948 (to see if you are eligible for a voucher). This number is for vouchers only and will not be able to help with any other enquiries. The number also applies for those wishing to take advantage of our special neutering campaign.
If you are looking for a cat or kitten (or have any other queries) please give Stephanie a call on 01692 535858. Alternatively, you can visit www.northwalsham.cats.org.uk/ for a description and photographs of the cats before giving us a call on the above number to find out where any particular cat is being fostered.
We are now on Facebook. You can find us under Cats Protection North Walsham.

Veterinary Nurse Awareness Month at Toll Barn Vets!
May marks the annual Veterinary Nurse Awareness Month – a month where we celebrate and recognise the skills and value veterinary nurses bring to our team and the health and welfare of our patients.
The title Registered Veterinary Nurse (RVN) can be used by nurses who undertake vigorous practical and theoretical training and examinations to qualify as Veterinary Nurses and be awarded entry onto the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons Register. They follow the Code of Professional Conduct for Veterinary Nurses and once qualified they are required to keep their skills up to date by undertaking Continued Professional Development to ensure we always treat our patients with the most up to date skills and techniques. Several of our RVN’s have undertaken further qualifications in particular areas of interest including Behaviour, Feline Care, Physiotherapy, Exotics and Dentistry.
At Toll Barn Vets we are proud of our skilled team of 9 RVNs who work closely with our veterinary surgeons to ensure your pets receive the best possible care. RVNs use their technical knowledge, hands on expertise and empathy for a whole range of tasks including advising clients on their pets health and welfare both in person and over the phone,
triaging emergency patients, administering life-saving first aid and CPR, blood sampling,
Some of the Nursing team members (l-r) Graham, Lucie (Head Nurse), Ryan & Delphi placing intravenous catheters, performing in house laboratory tests, taking x-rays, dressing wounds, assisting with surgical procedures, monitoring patients during general anaesthesia, preparing patients for surgery, caring for patients after surgery, caring for sick hospitalised inpatients by medicating, wound management, monitoring of key parameters, fluid therapy and very importantly love
and TLC.
The skills and knowledge recognised by the RVN qualification is why at Toll Barn Vets we ONLY allow RVNs to perform our veterinary nurse clinics and to monitor General anaesthetics and anaesthetic recoveries for our patients.
Our RVN’s provide a huge range of clinics to help our patients including Laser Therapy and Physiotherapy to help our pets with arthritis, soft tissue injuries and wound healing, claw clipping, microchipping, Second vaccinations, flea and worming clinics to discuss your pets lifestyle and risk factors and then tailor a parasite program to their specific needs, post operation checks, blood pressure monitoring, diabetes clinics, senior pet checks, puppy and kitten checks, dental checks, 6 month healthchecks for VIP members and nutritional advice.
At Toll Barn Vets we are also an Approved Training Practice allowing us to train future generations of veterinary nurses to our high standards! To find out more about training to become an RVN visit the British Veterinary Nursing Association website.

Busy busy busy
For those of you walking up Overstrand Road, you may have noticed a new sight appearing this year. Giant tipis situated on the North Lawn of The Grove were erected in November and since then, we, at The Grove, have been busy building the adjoining kitchen and bar, landscaping and getting ready to open Sundown, our new seasonal restaurant serving Norfolk tapas, pizza and ice-cream.
two-rosette meal from our a la carte restaurant.
So if you are feeling hungry and fancy a treat, you can book either the main restaurant, an afternoon tea or table at Sundown via our website. Or if you fancy a nosey, come and say hello, however busy we are, we are never too busy to talk. 01263 512412
The tapas menu includes, Wells cockles, grilled prawns with oyster sauce, BBQ artichoke, Norfolk samphire, and of course, fresh Cromer crab. Have I got you salivating yet?
The pizzas include John’s Escape – which is virtually all garden produce, The Gangway, which is crab, anchovies, prawns, and Gressingham Special, which is Hoisin duck. How about now?
But that is not all that’s been happening. This year, we have also revamped our afternoon teas, built a terrace on the Conker Lawn keeping those in mind who like to sit outside and enjoy an afternoon tea or
Sultana Tea Loaf
This tea loaf is very easy a good keeper and freezes well, just the thing to have in reserve for unexpected guests. It is moist and delicious spread with a little butter. You need to plan ahead as the fruit is soaked overnight prior to baking.
Ingredients 250g/9oz sultanas 100g/4oz candied mixed peel 140g/5oz light muscovado sugar 300ml/1/2pt hot black tea made with 2 teabags (Earl Grey is good) Butter for greasing 300g/11oz self-raising flour 1 egg, beaten
Method Put all the dried fruit and the sugar in a large bowl and pour over the hot tea, stir well, cover and leave overnight to soak. The next day, heat the oven to 150C/gas2 and lightly grease a 2lb loaf tin and line with baking parchment. Stir the flour and egg into the fruit mixture until well combined and there are no pockets of flour. Pour into the lined loaf tin and level the mixture. Bake for 1 1/2 - 1 3/4 hours until well risen and a skewer inserted into the middle comes away clean. Cool for 10mins in the tin then turn out onto a cooling rack. When cool, enjoy with a cup of tea.

Eat Cake for Veg’s Sake!
Here’s a great way to enjoy a fabulously delicious cake and pretend to be a bit healthy at the same time! Carrot cake sounds like a contradiction in terms, but the addition of vegetables into cakes has been going on since time immemorial, and if your kids won’t eat veg this may be a really sneaky and great way to get some into them! On a serious note, it’s also a terrific way to achieve a really moist cake, and one that is a good keeper too. I have always found carrot cakes to be a bit too oily for me, as the recipe usually calls for oil rather than butter, so I devised my own to get around this. The result is a really moist and scrumptious cake, which I don’t tend to ice as I don’t think it needs it, but you could if you wanted to. You can’t really go wrong with this recipe; I make mine in a 2lb loaf tin for ease of slicing, and it’s best if you make it a day ahead of eating (if you can bear to wait that long).
3 eggs whisked with 3 tblsp milk 6 oz Grated Carrot 4 oz sultanas or raisins
Cream together butter, sugar and almond essence until pale and light.
Sift together all dry ingredients in a separate bowl.
Slowly add a little egg and a tablespoon of flour mix to the creamed butter mixture, beating well to avoid curdling (if this happens just add a little more of the flour mix and keep beating)
bake in the oven on 180° for approx 35 – 40 mins, or until a skewer inserted into the middle of the cake comes out clean.
Rest in tin for 10 mins, and then turn out onto a wire cooling rack.
Once all the egg and flour has been thoroughly mixed together, stir in the grated zest, carrot and finally the sultanas.
Pour into a greased and lined 2lb loaf tin and

NNR Needs Volunteers
Laser Facelift at the Coltishall Cosmetic Clinic
Have you got a few days to spare each month? Looking for a new hobby that is engaging and interes ng, with the chance to meet and socialise in a dynamic and fun environment and make new friends? We welcome new volunteers at the North Norfolk Railway. Our services run from April to October with special trains at Christmas. Our Sta ons at Sheringham, Weybourne and Holt have opportuni es to work on the pla orm, mee ng and gree ng customers, buffet and shop and full training will be given.
More and more patients with busy lives are looking for less invasive treatments with less downtime to improve their profile and tightness of their face and neck. The laser assisted face and neck lift is an exciting, effective, and safe option for patients who wish to tighten the skin and underlying tissues of their face and neck. For good candidates, liquefying a small amount of fat to smooth the contours and heating the underlying tissues to tighten the skin may be the answer they are looking for.
We like it best as it avoids a tell-tale skin incision or scar in front of the ear. Any surgical procedure can cause a scar so we try and avoid this risk by not cutting the skin.
When to Choose the Laser Assisted Facelift Treatment Laser assisted facelifting is great for men or women. A good candidate for this procedure is: • in good general health • not smoking • has localised areas of fat in the jowl area and under the chin • has good skin integrity.
Come along and have a cuppa on us in the Sheringham Buffet on the first Saturday of each month between 10 am and 2pm
How does the Laser Facelift Work? A tiny 0.6 mm laser fibre is passed through fat between the skin and the muscles. The laser energy heats the surrounding tissue. This stimulates collagen formation and assists in skin and tissue tightening. A CO2 laser is then used to ‘shrink wrap’ the skin surface.
Recovery and Results Typically, only one treatment is required to obtain optimal results. Initial results can be seen within one week, with continued improvement over the next three to four months as tissues continue to tighten and heal. Coltishall Clinic offers a full range of Cosmetic Medical and Surgical Laser procedures. We offer a range a solutions including non-surgical

The Natural World we are gardening in…
Hello everybody, how is your garden growing in the present climate? This month I just want you to think about the Weather - Climate Insects and growing in this increasingly topsy turvey climate we are experiencing. I want to also show you how I have got a head start on certain things as well.
Where have all the April showers gone? Not only has it been the driest April but one on record, it has and still remains the coldest April since 1980s. So, what is it with the weather?
the plant and not on the foliage, it will stop the evaporation from the leaves. It will also stop the plant being scorched by the water droplets on the plant acting as a magnifier of the sun. 3. Avoid water running off, draining through the soil and evaporating by putting down mulches of good compost, grass cuttings on top of paper and cardboard or straw. This will help keep the soil moist. 4. If your soil is light and sandy then you need to improve the body of the soil by putting into it organic matter or manure or indeed place it on the top and let the worms pull it into the soil.
Last year in May, I was in a drought and watering like mad. It seems likely to be the same, although rain is forecast over this Bank Holiday weekend as I write this article. We now need to become Savvy Gardeners with a bit more insight and intuition.
So how do I water correctly and use the water efficiently? The soil is like a sponge and can act as a reservoir for water, also different soil types hold the water better than others. So, we need to understand that soil will either hold moisture, or it will evaporate or drain straight through. The other issue is how water will run off if we have these increasingly heavy showers. Here are some ways we can help to achieve this.
1. Water in the late afternoon or evening if possible and check with a trowel how deeply the water has penetrated the soil. By watering later in the day, you are not losing water to evaporation through the sun or wind.
I have noticed that many people are sowing and raising plants too early and garden centres have bedding plants in very early. This is fine if you have a greenhouse - cold frame to bring them on and harden them off. However, many people don't have that and lose the plants to the frost or cold winds. I have potatoes in bags in the green house now coming into flower and strawberry plants in flower which hopefully, I will be picking near the end of the month. I have also grown my first early peas in guttering and have now put them outside on the allotment.
However, and this is the important point, until we lose the frosts and cold evenings, together with the cold winds nothing is going to grow. So don't go Sally Marchant S.A.C. Dip RFHP rash, there is still lots Mobile Foot Health Practice of time and plants will catch up. All your foot care needs in the

pumpkins, squashes, runner beans, peas, sweetcorn and hopefully by the time they have grown big enough to plant out in the case of the squash and runner beans they will have much warmer nights and a consistent day time temperature.
Some planting can benefit others if they are grown together, this is known as companion planting. It works in various ways: -
Attracting beneficial insects, grow flowers that attract pest -eating insects alongside your vegetables. This should cut down on pests such as aphids and caterpillars.
By growing strong scented vegetables / flowers such as onions, garlic or marigolds around carrots they will mask the smell of the carrots and confuse the carrot fly that can smell carrots up to a mile away, marigolds will help with dealing with whitefly in the greenhouse.
Intercropping growing fast-maturing crops in between longer-term crops keep the ground covered so fewer weeds grow and makes the most of limited space. The most famous is the three sisters, sweetcorn, pumpkins or squashes and climbing beans. The corn supports the beans, the squashes suppress the weeds, and the beans take up nitrogen from the air.
That is all for this month happy gardening.

Building a Granny Annexe
by Charlotte Bentley, Chartered Legal Executive, Hayes + Storr
If you are thinking about building an annexe for an elderly parent or other family members, you will need to have the necessary planning consents in place before you start work. If not, the local planning authority could require you to remove the dwelling and return your home to its original state. Being unable to show the requisite consents may also cause problems when you come to sell your home. Planning permission, do you need it?
The good news is that depending on what you want to build, and where you live, you are allowed certain building works without having to make a planning application. Permitted development rights allow the improvement or extension of a home without the need to apply for planning permission, where that would be out of proportion with the impact of the works carried out.
However, a separate self-contained building in your garden is likely to need an application for full planning permission. A home extension, which satisfies other conditions relating to height and physical layout, may not.
If you’re unsure whether planning
permission is required, you can apply for a certificate of lawful development. This can give you peace of mind that your proposals are lawful from a planning perspective.
What other consents will you need?
There may be restrictions in your title deeds which mean that any building works require the consent of an adjoining landowner, or another third party. If your home is a leasehold property, then it’s likely you will need consent from your landlord for any structural alterations. If your home is subject to a mortgage, you may need your lender’s consent too.
What about stamp duty land tax?
Building an annexe should not ordinarily give rise to any liability for stamp duty land tax. However, stamp duty land tax will apply on any future sale of your property, affecting how attractive your home is to would-be buyers. What about finance and ownership?
If you are combining finances with other family members, you should all be clear about the arrangement. Ensure there is a written agreement which reflects your true intentions. This should take account of your
relative contributions and what could happen in the future. For example, what legal interest, if any, will your parent have in your shared home?
Joint ownership as tenants in common may seem like the obvious and fairest choice, because it would allow each of you to have a fixed share, reflecting your different contributions. However, if your parent dies, their share in the property will pass as per instructions left in their will if they have one, or according to the rules of intestacy. You could then find yourself sharing ownership of your home with their beneficiary, which may not be what you had in mind at all.
For further information about extending your home to share with relatives, contact Hayes + Storr on 01263 825959 and ask to speak to someone in the property department.
Your legal matters in safe hands for generations Hayes + Storr Solicitors handle a whole range of family, property and business legal matters with care and professionalism.

Holes found in Water Company’s Leaky Compensation Case
After a lengthy row, Sheringham residents left without water for a whole day are now to receive compensation thanks to swift action by their local County Councillor.
Following intervention by Cllr Judy Oliver, County Councillor for Sheringham & Beeston Regis, customers left without water for a whole day in January 2021 who had previously been denied compensation by Anglian Water, are now to receive it – over three months later.
Under government legislation, customers left without water for more than twelve hours should receive compensation – and be offered alternatives such as standpipes or bottled water. On 16th January, several hundred Sheringham customers were left without water from the early hours of the morning until at least 6pm. Many experienced interruptions to supply of nearly 18 hours. No alternative sources of water
were offered, in spite of many elderly and vulnerable residents shielding from Covid-19 at the time.
Whilst some customers were awarded compensation, in a response to many other residents, Anglian Water claimed the water had been off from 9.42am until 6.20pm – less than the twelve hours after which compensation payments would be due. David Baker, Water Service Manager for Anglian Water, claimed “This information is based on the data captured by our fixed network monitoring points and also an electronic model that uses this data.”
Following a campaign by Cllr Judy Oliver on behalf of affected residents, Anglian Water has now acknowledged that they “appreciate that individuals could have different experiences. There could be a number of factors, including private supply length and plumbing.”
Judy Oliver said, “Customers of water companies are ‘locked in’ – there’s no option to change suppliers as there is with gas or electricity suppliers. It’s all the more important then that companies such as Anglian Water behave honourably, and pay compensation to customers as and when it is due. The interruption to water supply on 16th January caused a great deal of distress to many who were shielding at home and could not easily get out to buy bottled water. Our public utilities need to be held to account – and councillors must be prepared to stand up to them when they try to shirk their responsibilities.”
Customers affected for more than twelve hours on 16th January are advised to contact Anglian Water on 0345 791 9155 – and to let Cllr Oliver know if they have been refused compensation they believe they are entitled to receive.
Hospital Charity Lottery to launch with £25,000 jackpot
A new weekly lottery which supports the work of the Norfolk and Norwich Hospitals Charity will be launched this week with the chance to win a weekly £25,000 jackpot.
The Hospitals Charity raises vital funds to support the N&N Hospital, Cromer & District Hospital and the Jenny Lind Children’s Hospital.
For every £1 entry, at least 50p comes directly to the N&N Hospitals Charity to help us improve the hospital environment, purchase the very latest in state-of-the-art equipment, support staff welfare and provide extra care over and above what is currently provided by the NHS.

those who sign up need to match four, five or six digits of the winning numbers in the correct sequence. Match all six-digits in sequence and the weekly prize jackpot is £25,000 with £1,000 for five matching digits and £25 for four digits.
John Paul Garside, Director of the N&N Hospitals Charity, said, “The funding from the charity lottery will help us to improve patient and staff experience, helping to fund equipment and support staff welfare above and beyond our normal NHS funding.

Spring CleanA at Beeston Common
Around Easter Francis (Hon. Warden) and Cherry Farrow spent some time on ‘Operation Common clean-up’ – litter-picking over Beeston Common. This produced 7 bags of general litter (plastic bags, plastic bottles, food wrappers, dog poo bags and drink cans).
There were also 4 smaller bags full of broken glass, beer and vodka bottles. In addition, larger items which were collected included part of a shed, a 2-seater sofa, 2 office chairs (broken), 2 kitchen chairs (broken), a child's table (broken) and a plastic child's seat. During the litter collection we found no evidence of needles or drug taking, however, a number of aerosol cans were picked up indicating solvent abuse. The large items of rubbish - sofa, chairs and shed etc were the result of a small minority of teens building a camp then abandoning it after trashing it. We know that a lot of people go out of their way to litter pick, and we thank those individuals that have quietly collected litter from the Common as well. Domestic Domes tic a and nd c ommercial. commercial. All enquiries w elcomed. welcomed.
It is not so easy to organise litter picks during covid restrictions, but it is hoped to get back to the 'stream-cleans' and general litter picks as the Sheringham Loke RiverCare Group in due course, although it would be better if these meetings were not necessary and we could all enjoy a clean and pleasant countryside.

God and the devil were having an argument, and Satan proposed a football game between heaven and hell to resolve the dispute. God, in his eternal goodness, pointed out that it wouldn’t be a fair match because all the ‘good’ players go to heaven. The devil smiled, replying, “Yes, but we’ve got all the refs.” Sheringham Independent May 2021
Redwings Set to Welcome Visitors Again
Redwings Horse Sanctuary has announced the date for the reopening of its two Norfolk visitor centres.
With safety measures in place, the charity looks forward to welcoming visitors back to Redwings Caldecott, near Great Yarmouth, and Redwings Aylsham, north of Norwich, from Friday 30th April.
The centres will open every weekend, Friday to Monday from 10:30am. Paddock walks will close at 3pm, but gift shops and cafes will remain open until 4pm. Supporters will be asked to pre-book tickets for their visits online, but entry remains free.
The centres have been closed since December following a year of disrupted opening due to coronavirus restrictions. The Sanctuary estimates the disruption to its Norfolk centres alone saw them miss out on over £200,000 in fundraising income in 2020 – a blow for the charity which is 100% funded by donations. Debbie Scott, Redwings’ Head of Fundraising, said: “We’re delighted to be able to welcome our supporters back and see them enjoy spending time with our rescued horses and donkeys again. As well as a major source of
income, our visitor centres are one of the key ways we share our work and build relationships with our supporters. Traditionally, 60% of the new donors we record every year decide to support us because they’ve enjoyed a day out at one of our visitor centres, but this number fell to 10% in 2020. This means we could be counting the cost of closure for years to come.
Redwings Caldecott is home to a herd of more than 30 lovable donkeys and gentle giant Shire cross Fox, as well as a peaceful newly opened Memory Garden. Meanwhile, at Redwings Aylsham you will find Redwings’ own ‘Black Beauty’, rescued Friesian horse Maya, and ‘The Gangsters’ – an adorable gang of miniature Shetland ponies! The site also has dedicated wildlife walks and ponds.
The charity has put in new measures to ensure the safety of their visitors including: • Visitors are asked to book a time slot for their arrival to ensure the number of people at the centres remains at a safe level at all times. • Entry remains free but donations would be welcome towards the care of Redwings’

rescued residents. • There will be one-way routes around the centres to help visitors maintain social distancing. • Cafes and gift shops will be open in line with current Government guidelines. • Visitors are encouraged to visit Redwings’ website for the latest news on the available facilities before travelling.
For those unable to travel to Redwings’ visitor centres they can follow the charity’s social media channels to enjoy daily updates on its rescued residents.
For further information about visiting Redwings, call 01508 481000 or head to www.redwings.org.uk/visiting.

Amateur actors step out to boost community theatre funds
A dance class comedy aims to turn on the tap for some much-needed funds for a lockdown-hit North Norfolk theatre.
A late summer season of the musical Stepping
Out has been announced for Sheringham Little Theatre to boost its summer programme, which has been affected by COVID restrictions. The funny, heart-warming and sometimes poignant show follows a group of people thrown together at a weekly tapdancing class, preparing to perform at a charity gala. It delves into their back stories and widely differing characters and charts their dancing “journeys” as they rehearse for the big day. It is being staged by the Cromer and Sheringham Operatic and Dramatic Society, which has rallied around to revisit and improve the show it first staged there in 2019. The aim is to get the actors back in action and provide some light-hearted entertainment for Little Theatre regulars and holidaymakers. It will generate income for the community arts hub which has lost months of ticket sales, including its lucrative pantomime and summer seasons.
CSODS chairman Robin Taylor said: “We are desperate to perform on stage again – and we knew the Little Theatre was keen to host live
SALES, SERVICE & REPAIRS T: 01263 761242 M: 07733 201615
audiences too, so this is brilliant for both of us. This show is more ‘ready to go’ as some of the cast members have played their roles before – but it will be modified and enhanced, so it will appeal to tourists and locals alike, even if they have seen it before. CSODS have a long-standing link with the Little Theatre, which has done a great job keeping things ticking over and connecting with its audiences during lockdown. We are thrilled to be part of its comeback with a feel-good show, and excited to be part of its summer offer for the first time.”
Rehearsals have already begun – using Zoom and social distancing in gardens – for the two 10-strong casts who will do five shows each during the run from August 27 to September 4.
Theatre director Debbie Thompson said: “This show is a real god-send to us. It provides a fun show in August at a time when it has been difficult to commit to our usual summer season of repertory drama due to Covid and finance restrictions. It is very kind of the CSODS to support us like this.”
Tickets and more information will be available at www.sheringhamlittletheatre.com

Today she stands alone Before the ocean he has crossed, Her heart so far from home Must know such depth To hallow loss. For all the gold and diamonds That have weighed upon her head, She would that her Odysseus Remained with her instead. For what good are a thousand ships To serve a royal throne When no tide can surmount the grief That strands us so alone? Yet after flags are lowered And chapels echo song, Her star will rise to steer by, And the voyage will go on.

Wherry Yacht Charter Charitable Trust Update
Spring - a time of green shoots and looking ahead... we are certainly looking ahead, and see some promising green shoots of a sailing season! A wherry trip would be something to look forward to and both day trips and private charters are on offer from 1st June to 30th September. Naturally there is a degree of caution attached, and as we are all aware restrictions may change. But for now let's think positively! Wherry Yacht Charter volunteers are busy making sure our two pleasure wherries, Hathor and Ardea, as well as our wherry yachts Norada and White Moth are ready for a busy sailing season, Olive is currently out of the water on our slipway for essential restoration and maintenance.
Our scheduled public day trips have already been offered to our Friends for early bird booking, so some spaces are already booked, but there are plenty of spaces left. We usually carry up to 12 passengers but for the time being we will confirm bookings for up to 6 passengers per trip, and add others to a reserve list in the hope that restrictions will allow us to accept more people safely on board by the time of sailing. Payment will be requested nearer the date of the trip. If a booked sailing or charter has to be cancelled due to Covid-19 or changes to the relevant guidance on social and leisure activities, we will offer a full refund or postponement to a future date.
Our skippered Day or Overnight Charters give you exclusive use of a wherry yacht. Dates may be requested from 1st June 2021 onwards. Charter groups must be formed to comply with the relevant rules on group numbers and household mixing at the time of sailing.

How quickly you progress to full sailing crew depends on how quickly you learn the ‘wherry ways’. And if crewing turns out not to be for you, then there are definitely other ways you can get involved. We have roles to suit various strengths and abilities, and whether you work behind the scenes or share your enthusiasm with the public at our events, you're part of the team that helps to keep our fleet sailing and bring in much-needed support. We positively welcome young volunteers, but anyone under 16 must be accompanied by an adult both during training and while volunteering. We do ask that, for insurance purposes, all volunteers should be current members of the Friends of WYCCT.
